Post by SavoyBGGroup 5 is now open. Please rank these from best to worst.Mmm Mmm Baby - Spiders

Recorded in March 1954 (at the same session that produced what I thinkis the very best Spiders track to originate from that year---theunreleased "Love's All I'm Puttin' Down") this was the FIRST recordingof this song. The boys recorded it again a month later in April whichwent unissued until 1961 when Imperial included it in the song lineupfor their sole LP on the label.Chuck Carbo leads on both versions

Oddball rockabilly/hillbilly bop/country rock or whatever else youwanna call it,I've always had a very soft spot for this one.Apparently recorded in some Tannersville Va store on a pokey home taperecorder and released---like so many of these things----on a customorder Starday label (Sunset) in 1958

From 1954 on Sabre label of Chicago here's the excellent uptempofollowup to their "Ooh Baby" that was one of my nominations in lastmonth's contest. Fingers crossed that this one does a tad better forRick!

(BTW this one also features on that quite brilliant 1964 "CollectorsShowcase Vol 5 : Groups Three" album on Constellation that alsocontains The Five Echoes' "Broke" featured elsewhere in this contest)

5-Wore To A Frazzel - Tony & Jackie LamieI thought Shirley Goodman had an annoying voice, but she sounds like achoir of angels next to this guy. Couldn't listen to more than 20seconds. Reminds me of the Maddox Brothers & Rose.

Looks like I’m in the minority all the way down on this group. Every few years I listen to this Spiders song and think I’m going to like it because I generally like the Spiders. And then I listen and am disappointed.

This Five Blue Notes isn’t anywhere as good for me as Ooh Baby (or it’s flip side)

The Frazzel record is at least interesting enough I’d like to put it on a playlist for a while

Rick's Five Blue Notes edges my Spiders in a 5-4 tie breaker to take the group. Bill manages to hit the ball and avoid the Golden Sombrero as S & L finished third. Roger's "Frazzel" was in deep shit after 8 ballots, but Jim's first place ranking along with his last place ranking for Steve's Jimmy Reed kept the Hillbilly mess in the contest. Steve's Jimmy Reed will not be back at noon or any other time!
